RESUMO
This paper describes enzyme studies in normal and abnormal pregnancy. Urinary leucine aminopeptidase (L.A.P.) excretion remained relatively low throughout normal single pregnancy. Urinary L.A.P. excretion was, however, raised towards term in four out of five cases of multiple pregnancy, but in one patient the predelivery urinary L.A.P. was not raised, and the second twin in this case died shortly after delivery with gross congenital abnormalities.
